The problem of heart arrhythmia in connection with atrial fibrillation and stroke occupies an important place in cardioneurology and requires immediate help to normalise the work of the heart and prevent stroke. Patients in the acute ischemic stroke need a scrupulous cardiac examination. The article provides data on risk stratification, treatment and prevention of ischemic stroke against the background of non-valvular atrial fibrillation.
